The cutest thing EVER
5 1/2 weeks
Evan's learning to talk babytalk! Jerry put him on the changing table and Evan started saying things like "ahhh" and "waaag" and "aaayyyy". I came in and started saying "oooohhh" with my lips in an exaggerated O and "eeeee" in a high pitchced voice. Soon he was saying things that sounded vaguely like O, and eeees. The whole time his arms where waving all around and his legs were kicking in mad excitement while he maintained eye contact with me. This went on for a few minutes, until we integrated tickling of his tummy, he became overstimulated, and started to fuss.
I think Jerry and I simultaneously melted.
Right now Jerry is rocking Evan to "Rock Lobster" by the B-52s, a kitcshy 60's song. For the second time, this song has mellowed him out. He is sitting (lounging, in fact) on Jerry's lap and looking straight up at his dad. It's nice to be admired by him.
